Trends for Wedding Flowers- Autumn

Hydrangea Flowers
 he Clinton’s daughter used them at her wedding, so follow the trend and use Hydrangeas for your special day
 T
The perfect flower for late summer and autumn weddings! They are the most beautiful flower and come in some fabulous  colours from pastel shades through to strong vibrant blue and deep pink. Now  available from the Dutch growers throughout the year but I like to keep to their natural season and use them in late summer and early autumn.
Because the flowers are so large and full, like a ball of small flowers, they are perfect to use to make beautiful hand tied  bouquets. I use them alone, or combined with roses or peonies in similar colours.


Hydrangea is available in a wide range of interesting colours, perfect to match with your wedding colour scheme not only for bouquets but continued into the table decorations for your reception.

Colour choices:
-       Blue: pastel baby blue to rich deep sky blue
-       White: bright white and creamy white.
-       Pink: pale pink, wine, mauve and burgundy.
-       Purple: from delicate mauve and  lilac to a bold, rich violet.
-       Green. Most colours start green when in bud.
 Delicate muted dusky shades…as the flowers age in autumn the colours become more muted, perfect for the vintage theme.
For the final finishing touch individual hydrangea florets can be used as petal confetti by flower girls.
 They are also perfect when used individually or in small bunches to make a delicate flower circle for the head of your younger bridesmaids or flower girls.
